  2. Why Windows 10 Anneverary Edition will not work on some computers...

    OK, So after a little research into Ubuntu, who's version of GNU (pronounced new) Bash (a Linux 4.2 kernel-based command prompt used and customized by Ubuntu Linux developers) that Microsoft is integrating into Windows 10 Anniversary Edition, is not yet
    compatible with Intel's Skylake CPU's (6th generation Intel Core i series processors).

    What this means is that if your Intel CPU has a number designation wherein the first number is a 6 (ie Intel Core (insert "i3 6xxx", "i5 6xxx", or "i7 6xxx" here), and has the Intel HD 530 graphics chipset (which most Skylake processors do have on dye),
    the anniversary edition will not be able to install and run. This is because Skylake's integrated graphics (Intel HD530) chipset only supports Linux 4.3- based shells whereas the Ubuntu GNU Bash shell used in Windows 10 Anniversary only supports up to Linux
    4.2.

    The culprit is, specifically, the lack of support for shells using Linux 4.2 kernel drivers for the Intel HD530 graphics chipset. The Ubuntu Bash shell used in Windows 10 Anniversary is based around Linux 4.2....and the Intel HD530 graphics chipset drivers are
    only compatible with Linux 4.3 kernel's or newer.

    Yeah, it makes you wonder why some should upgrade to Win10 if they plan on using these replacement start menu tools. So far the one that is supplied from MS suites my needs.

    For people who never had XP or 7, 10 is not a big deal. I personally don't use the native 10 start menu, even on 8. I don't need big icons. I don't need apps. *Smile But change is inevitable. Instead of whining about the new start menu, I just use the Classic Shell. Done.

    I used Classic Shell when I used Win8.1 with Spring Update. Overall I like having the start menu and the one that MS added natively to Win10 is very good addition. I would rather see MS making the start menu more customizable than it is now. Choice is a good thing and MS needs to provide that.

    I totally agree !

    I would never install a replacement for a feature that already exists in Windows 10.
    But for those who still complain, Start10 or Classic Shell are fair options.

    Both are nice options and I used Classic Shell for Win8/Win8.1 but I just like the Start Menu that comes with Win10. I don't have to add a third party tool and it allows me to use the metro tiles in the start menu.

    It's not a replacement start menu. The native Win 10 start menu is still there within the Classic Shell start menu just a click away.

  11. It's good that 3rd Party Software is there to provide for the needs of those that want a more flexible Start Menu/Screen.

    Exactly. More importantly, it's FREE.
    If it isn't free, maybe I'll be forced to take whatever MS pushes down my throat.

    I still prefer Start8 which only cost a few bucks which I'm using with Toggle Start Menu/Screen to give me a classic Windows 7 Start Menu with the choice of a Start Screen.

  14. Until MS changed their new Start Menu to be metro-only, I would have agreed that the default one was good enough. But, I liked the Start menu style provided by Startdock in Start8, and now that they have a beta of Start10 out, that is another option. But, classic shell deserves a close look.

    I like this, it makes navigating the menu more of what I have been accustomed to.
